thats not true. It depends what your matching it up doing. straight line there are tons of cars that compete. The corners there are other cars that compete.

The WRX STi is not that much of competition when it comes to being more than stock.

Yes that is true but in the world of Marketing and Auto Review.

The Subaru and Evo are the only 2 cars that are compared with each other in Rally event and in Sales.

The competition of the 2 cars will last forever as long the 2 car manufacturers make each other car perform better that the other.

Both of you are right, the STI is one of the well known competitors for the Evo as far as enthusiasts and magazine publishers go. There isn’t much 4 door sedans that are capable of what these cars do…..and no the MazdaSpeed6 isn’t ready. However, there are a lot of cars that will compete with the Evo in cornering & straight line acceleration and speed. I’m convinced that buying a car to match the Evo’s handling capabilities would be a bit more expensive. But I honestly wouldn’t consider the STI as a replacement although they are often compared. In my case, I didn’t just buy an Evo due to the typical “it’s fast” reason.
But the point is that the STI is well known for comparison but there are many that will compete as well.

It would have to be the new GTR, a hooked up Supra, or and R33 GTR if you can get your hands on one. Other than that... I love the Evo more than anything else under 100k.
